Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Today I am sharing with you pictures from my family's visit to The King Center, located here in Atlanta- a beautiful testament to Dr. King's work and life.

While visiting the King Center, my children were given the opportunity to have their picture taken with Dr. King's eldest and only living sibling, Christine King Farris. It was a moment I hope they cherish forever!

As my family and I walked through The King Center, I became emotional as I wondered what it would feel like to be so selfless that you would give your life to fight for racial equality. Thank-you Dr. King...

Wonderful. I need to make sure and visit next time I'm in Atlanta. I find something similar happens when I visit memorials and monuments. It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes when I stop and think about selfless actions of people, I have to get out the tissues.

Hi! I am a new follower. Thank you for your sweet post! I have the same pictures that you took, of my families many visits to the Museum (we live in the atl area too), with the exception of the picture with Ms. King! Wonderful! Have a lovely day,

I grew down the street from the king center AND the home Dr. King grew up in!! After school (I went to John Hope), my sister and I would head over to the king center and go inside the library and even play in the gym that was there. I have not been there since elementary school so I have no idea about whats inside the King Center now. I was also in one of the king parades and held the flag for the king service at Ebeneezer Baptist Church. I think its time to take my boys there!

Thank you Brandi, this is a wonderful post. What Dr. King did for our country and the world is remarkable.To think he did all of this before he was 40 years old, its mind boggling really. His life was short but what his legacy is mighty.

Oh I always remember those days when special men were getting killed, like Dr. King...it was such sad day in history and yeah, the good die young. He would be my mother's age and she's doing well! His legacy will last forever! The pic with Dr. King's sister your children will cherrish for ever, wow, how wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Hugs,FABBY

Hi Brandi, I am a native of GA and have visited the King Center several times. What a treasure for your children to meet and be photographed with Ms. King. Thank you for sharing this post with us today honoring Dr. King.

Thank you for the tour, I've never been to The King Center. I can only imagine how emotional it was, I can feel it and I wasn't there. I'm sure your children will think back on this opportunity to share a moment with Dr. King's sister, what an honor.Sincerely,Debbie

I can't wait until my son is older enough to understand who and what Dr. King did. As soon as he's older, I will be taking him to the King Center. Your pictures are so touching. I hope your children cherish that picture forever!

What a wonderful experience! When I went to DC I remember feeling overwhelmed when I visited the Washington Monument and heard the I have a dream speech they played. It brought tears to me eyes and made me so emotional

HI Brandi!Thanks for visiting my cozy kitchen and taking the time to leave such a kind message! Hope you come back sometime. :)What a wonderful experience it looks like ya'll had here...thanks for sharing!Blessings,Leslie

Hi Brandi...what a special moment for your children and you! Wow...I am sure they will never forget your day at the King Center.

Just stopping by to say thank you for leaving your comment over at 21Rosemary Lane regarding the Philly Home Show. I grew up right outside of Philly and this is the first time I made it down to the show and it really was fabulous!
